FILETAGS support

[jooert]

It would be great if Orgzly would respect the #+FILETAGS: setting as described in The Org Manual.

I would like to have this feature to.

whith new search features this is no more need for me, thx :+1:

Does this have any priority in development? It's quite easy to get around, but would leave my files a bit more organized.

I wasn't planning to work on it soon. If someone wants to take a shot though, we can go though that's needed.

I'd like to take a shot somewhere at the beginning of july, but I don't have any Java experience ;). If you give me some pointers on where else you parse global settings I think I could try to hack something together.

There's only TITLE now and it's in OrgFileSettings.

I guess steps would be:

• Support FILETAGS in OrgFileSettings
• Add tags to books table
• Modify notes_view adding book_tags
• Modify SqliteQueryBuilder to use book_tags (same as it's done for inherited_tags)

On Orgzly side #+FILETAGS is kinda covered by b.bookname Orgzly agenda queries. But on org-mode side, the #+FILETAGS remains one of easiest ways of quickly excluding agenda files from the scope of org-mode's org-agenda by simply putting #+FILETAGS into beginning of agenda files and then quickly filtering out by tags in org-agenda.

Good news Orgzly seem to preserve the existing #+FILETAGS records in org files.

Not being big priority, this is still a use case for this feature - when Orgzly user also uses synched org-mode and wants convenience with org-agenda tags filtering.

It would be great!

@sokolgeo Could you clarify what you mean by:

On Orgzly side #+FILETAGS is kinda covered by b.bookname Orgzly agenda queries.

We can have multiple filetags, right? But b.BOOKNAME only matches the notebook name (unless I am mistaken), so the b filter is more like searching for the #+CATEGORY property of an Org file, which defaults to the filename (minus extension).

The work-around I used is to list all files with the FILETAGS in a search alongside the tag itself woth OR. This is a bit of extra work. But this way I can find the tasks in the specific files or other files, but with the tag. It's not quite convenient, but if your file structure is changing rarely, it'll work.
